About this episode

The episode discusses how to teach children to say 'no' and the importance of setting boundaries.

Do you struggle to instil in your child the ability to say 'no'? And when is the right time to draw a boundary? Gen and Amy hear from a listener struggling with this, but suspect this question goes a bit deeper than just saying no. Plus, Amy and Gen's wins and losses include an appointment f-up, a play and an outsourced blow dry.
